[00:29.20]The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:37.76]They swore I planned her death to be
[00:45.39]I prayed they’d sentence me to die
[00:53.07]But they wanted me to live and I know why
[01:00.09]And I’ll do life in prison
[01:04.44]For the wrongs I’ve done
[01:08.10]And I pray every night for death to come
[01:14.91]My life will be a burden every day
[01:22.99]If I could die
[01:25.21]My pain might go away
[01:59.92]With trembling hands I took my darling’s life
[02:08.60]Because I loved her more than life
[02:15.03]My love for her will last a long, long time
[02:22.75]But I’d rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:29.80]And I’ll do life in prison
[02:34.32]For the wrongs I’ve done
[02:38.02]And I pray every night for death to come
[02:44.65]My life will be a burden every day
[02:52.42]If I could die
[02:54.66]My pain might go away
[02:59.40]If I could die
[03:02.09]My pain might go away
